    Your model is probably a Clevo/Sager.

    Try asking in the Clevo/Sager forum.

    first, it is a bad idea to post your email on public forums, you will probably get spam mail, so keep that in mind. Simply click on the edit button to delete your email.

    I am not very sure what your laptop is, but from the images I have seen it looks like a MSI based laptop. Usually Msi puts the headphones in the front like your laptop has. Check the laptops msi sells and see if one matches yours. You will be ale to get the bios revision from them.
    I looked on their site, but I cannot seem to find a match

    By chance is their a "notebook computer" sticker on the bottom of your laptop?

    thx for your tip~~~ :)

    XNI8252ds is mitac 8252d based laptop.Sure that I can flash the bios of mitac 8252d;
    But I love the boot logo of XNi8252ds and the bios of mitac just contain a INTEL logo,It was so ugly :(

    So is that why i was searching the bios built by XXodd.

    Thx you ~~ :)

    Like I said before, I really believe yours is a Clevo.

    Mitac is another Clevo reseller.

    no, MiTAC manufactures their own systems, they are made in Taiwan, I have a few old MiTAC's, and none of their new systems look liek clevo's

    I have tried emailing MiTAC, and their support never responds, so if the bios update is not on their webpage, then its not even worth it emailing them.

    Phil, that isnt the same laptop.
    This is the laptop the owner has:

    They are very different, on closer look. MiTAC is a completely different ODM than Clevo

    Ok looks like you're right. I only knew Xxodd as a Clevo reseller.
